I picked up this Jar at my uncles estate sale. It's believed to contain a ghost! possibly of George Harrison. If you're in to ghosts and other super natural phenomenon, or are a Beatles fan, this is the item for you.

Monday, November 12, 2007 Old people is whiny bitches
The following is an excerpt of a conversation between myself and a forty-something coworker, who, after being inspired by this piece-of-shit post from the blog Vanishing New York, decided it was time to convince me that my generation is "a bunch of whiny beetches!!" This is not "edited" and therefore likely not very interesting. But blogs must blog, and my mom's in town so whatever.
Conversation
JeffreyBeaumont: So i just discovered that this Chinese guy we invited to the meeting i do every year just turned 100 in October. No wonder he's never come! FormerNationalReporter: Ha. Ok, watch 60 minuites last night, your generation is a bunch of whiny beetches!!1 JeffreyBeaumont: dude, the very fact you are drawing from 60 Minutes as a source demonstrates the difference between your generation and mine 60 Minutes is like "the dinosaur celebration hour" FormerNationalReporter: Quoting: They believe anyone over 30 is "old, redundant, should be retired." This is their attitude not only about human beings, but also about mom-and-pop businesses, old buildings, and ways of life. They value only the young and the new. More than half of them move back home after graduating college, where they know they'll be safe in a coddling environment. After that, I guess mom and dad buy condos for them. Helicopter parents actually call their children's bosses and HR departments to complain about Junior's bad performance evaluations, the same way they complained to teachers about unsatisfactory grades. Says one of these kids, he wants lots of praise from his boss: "We want to hear it and truly we'd love for our parents to know. There's nothing better than Mom getting that letter saying, 'You know, Ryan did a great job. Yeah, I just wanted to let you know you raised a fantastic son.'" !? Okay, I'm speechless on this one. Why, for chrissake, would you ever want your boss to call your mother?
They cannot tolerate being told what to do or how to do it. Millions of dollars are being spent on consultants who tell bosses, basically, "Sweet talk these kids. Don't express disappointment in them. Praise them, let them arrange work around their yoga schedules, and give them lots of rewards--just for showing up." This is terrible advice for dealing with narcissists. It only allows them to continue living in the bubble of their personality disorder. JeffreyBeaumont: is that something you wrote or excerpted from the link? FormerNationalReporter: excerpt JeffreyBeaumont: i've definitely said this to you before: "old, redundant, should be retired." However, i live and die for mom and pops, don't get "help" from my parents my issue with old people is just one of many of them obscuring reality because they have the power to do so FormerNationalReporter: this is from a blog--vanishing new york--and of course there are exceptions to the generalizations Yunnies are the perfect neighborhood destruction machines due to their lack of empathy, sense of entitlement, and contempt for those "beneath" them. Their rage against mom-&-pop shops, I believe, comes in part from the very name "mom & pop," which reminds them of the truly loving parents they lack. The fallible humanity of these shops inevitably disappoints and frustrates the Yunnies. "What do you mean you're out of skim milk?" they tantrum, and "I can take my dog wherever I want!"
Watch out. Arm yourself with the facts about Yunnies: - They feel cut off from real human connection so they create constant pseudo-connections via cell phones or Blackberries. - They feel empty, so they shop compulsively and consume aggressively. - They are grandiose and believe the world revolves around them. - They demand constant attention--shouting personal details into cell phones and making dramatic scenes is a favorite way to draw attention to themselves. - Their hidden, deep belief in their own worthlessness makes them strive for high-status jobs and condo lifestyles, where a false sense of power temporarily lifts them up. - At the extreme end, Yunnies are sociopathic, without conscience and without remorse (think Paris Hilton)--these are the most dangerous and, I believe, the fastest growing subgroup.
JeffreyBeaumont: hmm i think that's worthless bunk, honestly FormerNationalReporter: some truth in that dude, I see it all the time JeffreyBeaumont: honestly, the first part you sent i was following but this second part just sounds like the rage of someone who doesn't know what to do with himself anymore FormerNationalReporter: now I personally think it is technology--and technology has created a huge disconnect in our society...and we have forgotten the idea of shared collectiv experience as for the chains... JeffreyBeaumont: all the things he described are NO DIFFERENT than the fucks who lined Wall St in the 80s FormerNationalReporter: here is the thing...people who grew up elsewhere are used to chains (starbucks, subway, etc.) so when they come to NYC to live, they want the chains it makes them feel comfortable and that their neighborhood is cool JeffreyBeaumont: i also don't believe at all that young people are against mom and pops in fact FormerNationalReporter: They don't roll their eyes at the prospect of a starbucks on every fourth corner because they are accustomed to that from their upbringing JeffreyBeaumont: i'd argue that young people are the only ones left in the urban world who are trying to fight the good fight to save mom and pops it is "middle-aged" people in urban environments who have collectively destroyed mom and pops and no one but them should get that blame FormerNationalReporter: of course, not everyone is...but a lot are.you don't see them because to your credit you are not part of that world--except for pushing poles out of williansburg and greenpiont but hell that was done long before you showed up. :) JeffreyBeaumont: dude we are pushing the poles out now because 80s yuppies pushed all middle and lower incomes out of manhattan then young people now are the same as young people always: headstrong, overconfident, disrespectful of the past FormerNationalReporter: true but there is to me a greater sense of entitlement now and it does start with the bullshit mentality of everyone gets a trophy for just showing up JeffreyBeaumont: but i can't believe for a second that they're any worse or disrespectful or have greater senses of entitleman than folks who came of age in the 80s FormerNationalReporter: I don't know...I came of age in the 80s and I didn't really have that sense, nor did my friends. of course, we also weren't have the fun of 200K salaries and blow and strippers dammit JeffreyBeaumont: exactly but those assholes were everywhere i mean dude, they overwhelmingly voted in REAGAN FormerNationalReporter: I agree that the vanishing new york guy is a little angry but he makes some good points, you should read his blog and you can comment on it to disagree, he writes back JeffreyBeaumont: aka Joe McCarthy reincarnated as a less intelligent celebrity i will find him and hunt him down FormerNationalReporter: vanishingnewyork.blogspot.com and get your folks to beat him up for you that was a joke JeffreyBeaumont: dude, don't think i don't have "folks" i got folks FormerNationalReporter: I meant your actual parents==the whole spoiled generation thing JeffreyBeaumont: oh yeah right FormerNationalReporter: there are too many chains I don't know why Chase needs a bank every three blocks I don't know how they all stay in business and I know i'm a hypocrite with my starbucks everyday JeffreyBeaumont: dude FormerNationalReporter: yes JeffreyBeaumont: the ONLY reason that shit exists now is because of greedy asshole exectutives many of whom came of age in the 80s FormerNationalReporter: but the funny thing is, isn't starbucks the kind of company we are supposed to embrace don't they in theory try to do right, etc JeffreyBeaumont: i live in a generation where, when we try to protest that kind of shit, our middle-and-older aged government looks us in the eye and says "Fuck you, we could give a shit what you think" FormerNationalReporter: ultimately though they grow and go public and all that shit and then it's gobble gobble until they've eaten everything up ok, how'd we get from starbucks to the gov JeffreyBeaumont: yeah and again, howard schulz is not a millennial young people protest creations of Walmart and Starbucks but just like our protests of government action, it all falls on deaf ears FormerNationalReporter: but there was a time when a starbucks was not the end of the world JeffreyBeaumont: i used to live in a building in bushwich where 13 starbucks employees lived they formed their own fucking labor union because howard schulz, like walmart, disallows them FormerNationalReporter: in LA, where there isn't the local culture, etc. i didnt care or feel guilty about going to starbucks problem is, we can't turn back the clock JeffreyBeaumont: you should have though FormerNationalReporter: I should have JeffreyBeaumont: and then my fellow millennials wouldn't be bearing the burden of your mistakes haa! FormerNationalReporter: so, lead the revolution I'll stand out of the way Hey, if I ran things I'd reinstate the draft JeffreyBeaumont: i'm raising my troops dude don't get me wrong, i don't think my generation is any more special but i don't think we're any worse and if we are, it's because we were made that way by deranged babyboomers FormerNationalReporter: a little worse, but it's my generation and the one before mine's fault JeffreyBeaumont: this is an issue: how are we supposed to learn "respect" when, in our first elections as adults (2000), we basically have election fraud leading to the election of a creepy scumbag who garnered less than a majority of votes and then all we get is shit from our supposed "older friends" for considering voting for Nader as if its OUR fault the election went awry FormerNationalReporter: no, it's nader's fault JeffreyBeaumont: no man, it's regular people's fault adults with power and privilege for not standing behind an America that should matter nader is just one dude we always have people like him what matters are the rest of the lazy-dicked "adults" too comfortable with their summer homes, five cars-for-four-family-members and bigscreen TVs the ones who forgot what "giving a shit" means and sat by as our country was led down a road of at least eight years of extended horseshit

As much as I treasure and cherish them, sometimes computers seem like they enjoy nothing more than to making me suffer and squirm. This is the problem inherent in early 21st century hyperliving--the technology which I love and and embrace is not yet fully prepared to love me back.
1st Case in point: Blogger logins. We--meaning I--all signed up for Blogger back in the day when it had its own separate set of logins and big daddy Google only crept so much in the sneaksneak creepcreep "Gotcha!" department. Those were good days when i was like, "Shit, GREAT deal for me--and Google can only help make it better!!" Wrong. Sadly, at some point a year or two ago, all of this changed and Google finally understood the potential they had been failing to capitalize on (and/or stopped having moral qualms about what it could mean) and began requesting that users move their blogger accounts over to a Google/Gmail account. Harmless, right? Cause, Hell, why not integrate? Cause wouldn't it actually be inteGREAT? Combine featuresets, preferences, streamline processes--seriously, what's to lose here? I wasn't totally on-board with all of this, but as techloving bastard I was certainly curious enough to find out if this was one more way I could make technology improve my life. Sadly, yes, I was wrong.
So where's the yikes, Bill Sykes? Basically it all boils down to a few specific annoyances resultant from one looming philosophical concern, listed now in orders below arbitrarily chosen by I, Claudius.
Philosophy: one of the boons of the internet (no caps, sorry) is that it offers not only anonymity but also the ability to maintain multiple identities. Alas, what I have slowly begun to realize, is that at some point in late 2005 Google decided that, as company with a burgeoning market cap approaching and even dwarfing the GDP of many countries in Africa, It's not so easy to monetize the shadows. Or, specifically, It's a lot easier to monetize identifiable people with bank accounts and social security numbers.
This shit is REAL. They can find YOU too.
Is this Big Brother talk? Fuck, no, it really is not. Think about it: if I am logged into Gmail and I pop open Google Maps, I have access to my entire history of GMaps searches no matter what computer I am on--all right there at my fingertips... Which actually sounds REALLY useful, not creepy/bad. And it is, honestly. But... this is where shit gets tricky. Saved maps preferences is only the next step in an evolution that began with "The Start", inline Gmail advertising--I remember Doorknobs telling me about the early beta in May 2004 and how it was great but the only catch was that they would parse your emails and generate ads based upon keywords you type. At the time I was sufficiently disapproving so as to avoid jumping on the beg-for-beta-invite ship, but within a few months I came around. The Gmail services, like those of Google Maps, had me sold and I decided that their benefits outweighed the tradeoffs.
And still now, I think they do, but these "benefits" aren't perfect and sometimes it's just too much.
Let's go back to my initial Case Heading, the Blogger login, and examine one of the most annoying aspects that has become part of the "improved user experience." When I decided to link my Blogger account to my Gmail address, I chose not my "main" email, but instead an alternative, limited-use email. I did so, for one, because the altmail usage fit my act on Blogger more, but, also, because I try whenever possible to keep my "real email" out of the limelight so I can to retain some degree of that internet anonymity and alternative identity (AND NON-SPAMMAGE!) that I crave. But almost immediately upon changing over, I realized that I had committed a very irksome mistake: as browser cookies do not allow you to be logged-in to multiple gmail accounts at the same time, I therefore can no longer blog and email simultaneously (at least, not within the same browser).
[crickets]
Umm. Yeah.
Seriously dudes!!! I know this admission means I'M flying my dorkflag colors way high, but what the fuck? This IS a big deal to a whiny bitch like myself stuck on a 4 year old 1ghz G4 that isn't so cool about running two browsers and AirT-streaming iTunes simultaneously. Seriously! And that's just the Right-now-this-sucks gripe, why I'm moaning to myself about how I need to justify buying a new Pro rather than get my very fucked teeth fixed. But philosophically speaking, my endpoint is that we are nearing a future where a single log-in, corresponding to a real "certified" identity, gets you in everywhere--and without it, nowhere. Right now such a time feels both close and far away, but I promise you that it is imminent.
"Dear Santa Beau, All I want for Christmas is the $499.99 Ghostface Killah Doll with 14k gold jewelry, velvet robes, and constant disgruntled expression. I will be extremely good for the rest of my life and will never ask for anything more. Seriously, check the list, I'm under SO FUCKING NICE IT IS PAINFUL."
I hope she right cause I'd hate for her to miss out on this pretty fucking princess:
"Just in case your eight year-old needs some training in how to operate one, here's the Hello Kitty ATM Bank. Its pink, it's got HK on it, and it looks vaguely like those machines you find in 7-Elevens: fortunately, it won't give your kids cash on credit. They've gotta put some pennies in first. It comes with a Hello Kitty cash card for withdrawals, which should help your child transition to the Hello Kitty Consolidated Bank account you've set up -- yes, they're real. No word on how much this monstrosity is, but you can probably guess which country they're available in."
My stomach is usually ok for the grossness of pro athletes but this is some queasy shit. I really really REALLY hope that, for once, this guy (as representing all top dollar sportfucks) doesn't get what he's asking for, that NO team out there is ready to pay him $35 million per season. Because, please, come on! Fucking nuts!!
What's most crazy is that i just can't imagine any other team besides the Yankees even considering offering a 32 year old player $30 mil per year even, let alone $35mil-per for ten fucking years... and yet A-rod, for whatever reason, has spit in their faces. In Sunday's NYT, lawyer Jeffrey Gordon argues that this is all part of some bizarre negotiating tactics to keep the Yankees IN the game, but I can't buy that shit. ESPN's Rob Neyer (sorry, Insider only) and the always astute though also arrogant and occasionally insufferable sportseconomist / SabernomicistJC Bradbury don't buy it, either.
In any event, A-Rod is, in the immortal words of Noah's brother, "A DOUCHE."
GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 1 — Stephen Colbert’s nascent and satirical presidential campaign came to an abrupt end on Thursday when the Democratic Party in South Carolina decided he was not serious and turned down his application to get his name on the primary ballot.
South Carolina is the only state where Mr. Colbert, the comedian and a native South Carolinian, had sought to get on the ballot. He did not try getting on the Republican line, which would have cost $35,000. A space on the Democratic ballot costs $2,500, which Mr. Colbert had paid by Thursday’s deadline.
But Carol Fowler, chairwoman of the state’s Democratic Party, said the party’s executive council determined that Mr. Colbert did not meet two basic requirements: that he be generally acknowledged as a viable nationwide candidate; and that he be actively campaigning for the state’s primary. The council voted 13 to 3 against certifying him.
“The council really agonized over this because they really like him, they love his show, and everyone thinks it’s wonderful that he cares about us,” Ms. Fowler said, adding that his check will be returned.
If this Slang revival is to be believed (Nihilist is nihlin' it up...and, what!?! a post by Hugger???), then I of course must add something vaguely political and easily ignored.
Not ignored, man! Halleluhah for OpenTimes these days. I read that shit and it was great, though I would have preferred a video of the two of them duking it out (verbally or otherwise). Gotta love the quote that it takes "a thousand years for the lies in the New York Times to biodegrade."
Yes, actually, that's a scientifically confirmed fact.
Wednesday, October 31, 2007 Caribbeans Be Burnin' Holes In My Ears
Quick: please name favorite songs EVER utilizing that sexy percussion from the islands, the steel drum. EVER.
top three, of the top of my head:
Prince -- "New Position" (Parade) I LOVE this bitch. Parade, from '86 is by far my favorite Prince album, as it does a nice job touching on all the various poses Prince did best and turning them into one forty minute long expression of his greatness (with segues to emphasize his "inclusiveness!"). "New Position" is the "Little Help from My Friends" following the "Lonely Hearts Club Band" of opener "Christopher Tracy's Parade." Opening with the sweet sounds of tinny steel magic, you realize immediately how Prince's andro-sheeeet was born to preen behind such exotica. There is no question whatsoever that, in 1986, this man was a genius on top of the world. (download mp3)
50 Cent -- "P.I.M.P." (Get Rich of Die Tryin') The obvious choice. "P.I.M.P" is easily the best or second best song 50 has ever done, and is certainly my favorite. I tend to hate 50's uberthug schtick, as it's both creepy and samey, but here it works brilliantly--probably because the automatic "teh ghey" of the steel drum meters 50's powerdude-ism in the sort of brilliant compromised way to bring any ole academialeptic postmodernist fuckwad to cumgasm. I, for one, am one of those 'wads AND I LOVE IT. (download mp3)
Clipse -- "I'm Not You" (Lord Willin') No, my three favorite steel drum mantras do not include anything as performed by The White Man (though I suppose don't automatically rule such compositions out). However, it should come as no surprise that one of the most stellar steel drum trax EVER would come from Teh Ghey Captain Pharell. For, as "Superthug" Noreaga once put it, "Neptunes is homo. You won't hear another Neptunes track again on Noreaga again in your life. I didn't know that they hand was broken. [makes limp-wristed gesture]." This BEEFCAKElovewonder came to me in 2003 courtesy of one H. Doorknobs, helping to provide a friend late on the scene with a clue to the hottest rap game on the planet (Clipse, who are are all men and no chubb). This track, featuring 50-competing clobberthug (tho not uberthug) Jadakiss, kills me at the heart in way different from the other two in that it stays simple and within itself (as the best of Clipse often does--which reminds me that a treatise on Hell Hath's "Nightmares" is long overdue)--confident is as confident does, they say. (download mp3)
So that's mine. What are yours? Hit me up with your steel love, if you have any.
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 A letter on Revering The Gods, March 1997
From: Charles Dirksen Subject: ATTN: INFO FOR NEW TRADERS Date: 28 Mar 1997 22:58:09 GMT
THE FOLLOWING ARE POSTS THAT NEW TRADERS MAY FIND HELPFUL. THE FOLLOWING IS ALL PRETTY MUCH TWO CENTS, BUT MUCH OF IT JIVES WITH MANY IN THE PHISH.NET COMMUNITY. IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS STUFF ON YOUR WEB PAGE, FEEL FREE TO DO SO, BUT I'D PREFER IT IF YOU CREDIT ME UNLESS YOU CHANGE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF IT. ************************************************ ************************************************
HOT TO GET TAPES OF SHOWS FROM PEOPLE
When requesting Phish tapes from people, especially in competitive situations (when there are many people responding to a tape offer), it has been my experience that the following ideas are helpful.
1) Offer to dub for others (and be serious about it). Even the greatest tape request is lacking and might be rejected if this KEY element is missing. And if you can't dub it for other people, BE HONEST ABOUT IT, because you might get the tapes as a result.
2) Tell a story, perhaps one that is amusing, about why you want a certain tape/show. Preferably one worth telling and worth hearing. Even if it is utter bullshit. Be sure to include a ;^) at the end if indeed it is fraudulent, otherwise, the person to whom you are requesting a tape may believe -- perhaps unwiiiiisely -- that you are trying to cleverly bullshit him or her. Some of the best tape requests I've read are ones discussing the requestor's reasons for wanting a show ("I was there and BLAH BLAH BLAH happened..").
3) Afford the person from whom you are requesting a dub demi-God status AT MOST, IF AT ALL. Treating them like Icculus may prove offensive, which is why demi-God admiration may be more effective. Especially keep in mind that everyone can worship and praise, but not everyone can craft a creative story or email. Usually the most excellent requests contain NO worship and praise, except of the show being requested.
4) Perhaps, and this is a big PERHAPS, offer stuff to the person from whom you are requesting tapes. Anything except $. Even if it is the lint from the floor of your room (but preferably items that are worth a little more, like tape labels, a sticker, a scale from an 83 pound black drum fish, a weird postcard, incense, NYE ping pong balls, Halloween candy, mysterious keys, a bizarre token, that lame t-shirt you never wear anymore, a ludicrously lame poster... anything that might set your request apart from another, but not something which might be construed as a bribe (id est, an item with serious cash value), since trying to bribe someone is usually automatic disqualification at best, and public flamehendge at worst.
(and)
5) Remember to say 'please', and 'thank you,' and be kind to those less fortunate than yourself... (or not)
The success of the above methods depends entirely upon the acumen of those competing against you for tapes and, of course, the disposition of the person making a given tape offer when they read the requests responsive to their initial post.
Some people enjoy it when they receive messages that say "Hey, I'd really like to get [name of show] from you. Here's my tapelist. Please respond. [insert tape list]." Personally, I find other people's tape lists that have fewer than 600 hours amusing, but I nevertheless usually don't trade with them, since I'm an arrogant snob and have heard most of the material in circulation anyway. I usually respond to requests that have at least some original content, though, EVEN IF a tape list is attached.
Best of luck in All Things, especially future requests for Phish tapes,
charlie dirksen
p.s. you should NEVER have to send two blanks to get one dubbed.. if some COMPLETE JACKASS tries to rip you off in this manner, you should post a public message to the net about it (assuming the COMPLETE JACKASS hasn't already announced to the net that he wants two blanks for every one he dubs). People will dub for you for cost. Don't be fooled by the assholes out there. And when someone offers to dub for you, if you don't recognize their name from the net, and you question their reliability, getting (and using) a phone number is enormously recommended. Communication. Communication. Communication... Trading with people on phishnet has and will work out if you just communicate with your prospective trading partner.
***************************** ***************************** THESE ARE SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SENDING BLANKS/POSTAGE TO SOMEONE
1) please send the proper length of Type II or higher quality blanks; UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU SEND ME ADDITIONAL BLANKS "as a gift" (I don't accept blanks as gifts very well); just send blanks for the particular show you requested; if I recommended that you send high quality blanks for something (i.e., XL2S or metals), you probably should send such blanks if you are truly quality conscious;
2) include in the package a mailing _LABEL_ (or separate piece of paper), not a mailer, but a LABEL, that has your return address _neatly_ on it; I will use this label to send the tapes back to you, so if it is illegible, you assume the risk; if, however, you include a self-addressed stamped bubble mailer for return delivery of the tapes, as I would prefer (but which is NOT required), you clearly do not need to also include a separate label with your address;
3) send the tapes with or without cases in a REASONABLY CLEAN and HARDLY USED IF USED AT ALL package that may be EASILY re-used by me to send you your tapes back (i.e., send a good sized PADDED package that COMFORTABLY fits the blanks you are sending, don't fill the package full of staples, DO NOT SEND A @&$%@$# POSTAL WRAPPED BOX!!, don't seal it so seriously that I have to rip the damn thing to pieces to get at the blanks, don't send a mailer that is falling apart and has stuffing coming out of it, etc.); this is VERY IMPORTANT; I will not go buy a new mailer just to send you your tapes back (I will use duct tape and make a mess of the package, if need be); I really like to see BUBBLE mailers and not LINT-FILLED MANILA mailers, since the latter tend to explode, which gets lint over everything (including the heads of my tape deck, which pisses me off); if you send me a really shitty mailer that is falling apart, I might wait until the last minute to dub for you, irrespective of postmark; however, if you do what some people do, which is include a self-addressed stamped bubble mailer inside of a larger bubble mailer, I will praise you along with Icculus and kiss the sky;
4) include a NOTE or letter with the package, which *NEATLY* specifies the show you want, and what your NET ADDRESS is; if your package is essentially identical to others' received on the same date (which is practically guaranteed), and you actually took the time to write me a pleasant letter, I will take the time to dub your blanks ahead of others' (I do this all the time.. if people send me a DEMAND for the tapes and treat me like an impersonal machine, they can wait longer than those who took care that I don't feel like their god damn slave... if the "note" is particularly gross, I will throw their package into the corner of my room in disgust and dub it 'Whenever');
5) include first class return postage IN STAMPS, and be sure to check with the post office about the amount; if you don't want to deal with this, you are welcome to send me 3 dollars in stamps or cash for priority mail return (3 dollars will cover up to 10 tapes with cases); please, though, if using first class postage, ASK YOUR POSTMASTER and don't assume what the proper postage is, because it may be more, and if I have to front you postage, I bump you waaaaay back in the dubbing queue regardless of your postmark; if you send book rate or third class postage, I might not dub for you until the millenium, given your obvious indifference to the speed at which you get your tapes back (or, for that matter, indifference to whether you get them back at all); you may send cash if you have to, but Don't if you have access to stamps (NO checks *ever*!!); ALSO, if you are in **Canada**, you MUST include the proper postage in US stamps or USD (about 3 bucks for 3 tapes with cases).. I don't want any &@%#*^@% Canadian $;
AND DO NOT SEND POSTAL METER STRIPS FOR RETURN POSTAGE!!! THESE ARE ILLEGAL FOR RETURN POSTAGE AND WILL PISS ME OFF EXTRAORDINARILY;
6) PLEASE DO NOT send me anything postmarked after March 28, and Do not, under any circumstances, grovel for an extension (I'm dubbing for a lot of people in this offer, and don't want to be dubbing tapes pursuant to this offer in May); this offer has to be closed at some point (and the return address you send me should be current through the second week of May; please include an address for you for June if, due to some Unfortunate Circumstance, I can't dub your tapes until late May (!)).
